Another fragment of the video.

http://youtu.be/TLIZVI3VfYU

All the sequencies - Amiga 1200 with DigiBooster program
All the live solo-improvisations - Yamaha PSS-680 toy-keyboard (FM)
All the live special effect - Casio SK-5 and Korg Monotron Duo toy-keyz.

Sorry for the audio-quality, one can barely hear anything, but the sound isn't from the mixer-table, it's 'from the room'.

This a concert version of my song "From desert to forest" from "RetroBeat" album (Amiga 1200) that You can download from here: http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl/

Thx guyz.

And here is the demo itself, on the YouTube, if anybody would like to take a look:

...and You actually can.

Because If anybody wants to buy its modern version - the Speccy2010 - it might be the last occasion.

I've just got an e'mail from Zaxon:

"
Hi,
yes, I have still 6 issues of Speccy2010 to sell.
110 Euro per issue + SD card 4Gb + SCART cable to TV/monitor.
zaxoniec AT googlemail.com
"

Modern ZX Spectrum with 2 AY chips, VGA video-ouptut, SD-card as a mass-storage and so on.
It's being sold as a small mother-board however the case/box is some standard (I bought it in an electric-shop).

It looks like that:





And mine (I bought it from Zaxon already) looks like this:

because I designed my own stickers for the machine. smile


Ah, by the way - here is the video I made about my Speccy2010:

_____________EDIT________________
The Speccy2010 with 2 AY chips (6 channels) sounds like this:
http://yerzmyey.i-demo.pl/Yerzmyey-Ai_TS.mp3
I recorded this song's version (for TurboSound) from the machine.
Well, the snare could sound better, but generally I don't complain.

And related with it -

Modern ZX Spectrum 48K BEEPER music, Part 1



I was thinking for some time already, about making such YouTube "series", to make the Spectrum48 more popular as an instrument.

So - here is the first 'episode', if I can call it this way.
http://youtu.be/QZnOd_f9YjQ

There are next to come, with more musicians.

PS: I don't know if the "10 minutes limit" still is topical on YouTube.


_______________________________________
This is the first set of modern music from ZX Spectrum 48K (BEEPER / 1-bit music).
I purposely chosen the first song from the "Mister Beep" project, because it shows clearly how the music has changes from the 1982 (the intro of the song) to the modern times of 2014 (the main song, appearing later, after several seconds).
I plan to make more of such videos, maybe somebody would be interested in the modern ZX Spectrum 48K / Sinclair Timex music-scene.
All has been recorded from real Sinclair hardware.

Tracklist:
1) MISTER BEEP - Rubber Love
2) Strobe - Huvva
3) MovieMovies1 - Through the Spectrum
4) Flaminglog - King Tut's Awakening
5) MovieMovies1 - Tritona v.2

C-Jeff song is simply excellent, as usual.

Argh, Boomlinde was faster. wink

iLKke:

yes they do but connected into another port.
When You want to boot from it, You have to put the card inside the computer - instead of the actual HDD.
Possibly You'd require a small adapter "small IDE=>CF".
If I recall.
The small IDE was the one present also in laptops.

Adrdesign: a good song by the way.


iLKke: SD card for A1200? Strange. I have two cards for it but both are the CF ones.

If you count all the knock-offs I wonder if the ZX-Spectrum was really more popular than the Commodore 64.

Yes.


Plus - consider also the size of the country.

Well, finally today I finished testing the standard Amiga 500 (well, with 1Mb of ChipRam) and the OctaMED in 8-channels mode.
http://battleofthebits.org/arena/Entry/ … 00)/12010/
(Only "LISTEN" function works for the non-registered users, sorry).

Doesn't sounds _that_ bad after all. However the sound is audibly worse then 4channels indeed.

Also lack of the volumes was a bitch.

But it was fun anyway. wink

Yupp. Now the interface works juuuuuuuuuuuuuuust fine.
